John Phillips wasn’t sure if the email detailing what men can expect sexually by the third date with women of various ethnic groups was appropriate fodder to send to his nephew’s workplace email.

Noah Phillips, according to his emailed response, assured him it was “work appropriate and for that matter appropriate anywhere.”

The emails, dated Feb. 17, 2016, were provided to The Bee and show an exchange between Phillips, who is running for Sacramento County District Attorney and the man he would describe only as “his 70 year old uncle” before declining to confirm or deny the validity of the emails.
